Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 314: This is what you see
Huang Xiaoming broke up with several of his ex-girlfriends peacefully. After the breakup, he never said anything bad about Qin Lan and Li Fei'er, and Qin and Li never blamed Huang Xiaoming.

If Huang Xiaoming and Qin Lan really had a bad fallout, Li Qiutang's relationship with him wouldn't be so good.

There is no grudge between them. They just want to invite Qin Lan to play the second female role in order to scare Huang Xiaoming away. It is a bit unrealistic.

What's the point of playing a couple on the same stage with your ex-girlfriend? If you can't even swallow this, then don't stay in this industry.

Huang Xiaoming hesitated for only a moment, and finally said that he wanted to strive for "The Invisible Guest".

Li Qiutang is of course willing to give Huang Xiaoming a chance, but he hasn't met the other actors yet, so he won't make a decision.

"I will continue to interview other actors and notify you when the time comes."

"No problem." Huang Xiaoming was fighting for an opportunity. How could a director like Li Qiutang finalize the actors so rashly?

Li Qiutang took advantage of Liu Xiaoli's absence and went to Xiangshan Qingqin to spend the night.

I came back early today and saw Liu Yifei meeting a guest.

Han Yan from the Cantianshu Project and his screenwriter and producer were all there.

"Huh?" Li Qiutang wondered why the three of them were here.

"Huh?" Han Yan was still wondering why Li Qiutang appeared in Liu Yifei's house!
Han Yan asked tentatively, "Why are you here to see Yifei?"

"I'm fine." Li Qiutang said with a smile.

Under the watchful eyes of Han Yan and the other two, Li Qiutang turned into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and got something to drink.

"Yifei, the yogurt is gone." A voice came from the kitchen.

"I'll buy some in the evening, and you can eat those prunes."

"Didn't I bring back a box of kiwis a few days ago? Where did you put it?"

"The newly bought kiwi fruit is too hard to eat," Liu Yifei stood up to find something for Li Qiutang, "It needs to be kept for a few days."

Li Qiutang washed a plate of prunes and brought it out: "Don't bother me, let's talk about business." Then she went upstairs with the plate.

Han Yan and the other two were stunned. What is the relationship between you two?
Liu Yifei was present during the previous interview, and Han Yan thought that the two were just an ordinary couple, but now it seems that the two are closer than he thought.

Judging from their performance just now, he would believe that they were husband and wife.

Han Yan pointed at the stairs, then at Liu Yifei: "He...you...both of you."

Liu Yifei smiled and nodded: "It's just what you see."

Han Yan's screenwriter laughed and said, "I thought so!"

The four of them continued talking, and an hour later Liu Yifei saw Han Yan and the others off.

When I came upstairs, Li Qiutang had finished eating and taking a shower, and was lying in bed, half asleep.

There was a stack of documents next to the pillow.

Liu Yifei packed up the documents and put them aside: "Did you go out to steal last night? Come to my place to catch up on some sleep."

Li Qiutang murmured, "Being a thief is not as tiring as it is for me." He reached out from under the quilt and held his girlfriend's hand.

"The person left?" Li Qiutang said in a low voice.

"Well, he wants to invite me to a play."

"Yeah." Li Qiutang didn't have the heart to think about what Han Yan had planned for Liu Yifei. He was almost dying of sleep. "Lie down with me for a while." He used a little force with his hands, trying to pull Liu Yifei up.

"Really?" Of course Li Qiutang couldn't pull her away now, but Liu Yifei still lay down next to her boyfriend without taking off her clothes.

Li Qiutang hugged his girlfriend, drowsy: "Yifei, you smell so good."

"You're so sleepy, but your mouth looks like it's covered in honey." Liu Yifei touched her boyfriend's head, "Go to sleep."

Li Qiutang slept until the afternoon and woke up. Liu Yifei was no longer around.

Going downstairs, Liu Yifei was watching TV with her cat in her arms. Seeing Li Qiutang coming down, she said, "Are you awake? There's food on the table."

Li Qiutang looked over and saw that there were indeed a few dishes on the kitchen island and rice was still warming in the rice cooker.

"You made this?" She can't cook.

"I bought it." She said it without any embarrassment.

Li Qiutang brought the food over and ate it, then asked her, "Are you going to act in The Fault in Our Stars?"

This is Han Yan's project in the Cantianshu Project. Liu Yifei said first: "This story is really good." Patients and marginalized people are much more attractive to actors than ordinary people.

It would be unreasonable for Liu Yifei not to be moved.

“But there are intimate scenes in it.” And the intimate scenes in “The Fault in Our Stars” must not be deleted.

Han Yan knows it, Liu Yifei knows it, and Li Qiutang, who has been following the project throughout, knows it even better.

The intimate scene between the male and female protagonists expresses the most primitive desires and the most intimate feelings of the two cancer patients. Deleting this scene will affect the tension of the whole play.

Intimate scenes are sometimes really necessary.

Li Qiutang was very bothered by Liu Yifei's intimate scenes. Holding hands and hugging were ok in the scenes, but if there was more, Li Qiutang didn't want to watch it.

But Liu Yifei really likes the story of "The Fault in Our Stars".

Li Qiutang said while eating: "To be honest, you may not be able to act out that effect."

"My acting skills have improved a lot now, okay!" This is indeed true. She was moved to tears by a group of veteran actors in "In Time". Liu Yifei also benefited a lot from the acting skills of Liao Fan and Hao Lei in "Introduction to Architecture". Coupled with Li Qiutang's usual guidance and training, Liu Yifei's acting skills have indeed improved a lot.

Li Qiutang ignored her and continued, "Actually, it would be best to cast actors born in the 90s for this film, as they are in their prime."

"Can't I play a little girl?"

"How many years have you graduated?" Li Qiutang laughed at her, "But now there is only one post-90s girl named Zhou Dongyu who can be used, unless Han Yan goes to find a new one."

In fact, Zhou Dongyu can really play in "The Fault in Our Stars". There is definitely no problem with her acting skills. But in terms of image, the heroine of this play cannot be too beautiful.

"You are too beautiful. The audience will not sympathize with a girl like you getting sick."

This is true. Girls who are too beautiful will be at a disadvantage when playing the role of patients, and they will have to work harder to gain the audience's recognition.

This is also why many big directors don’t like to use beautiful women as the protagonists. Beautiful women are too bright and eye-catching, which hinders the director’s personal expression.

He clearly said that she couldn't act, but why did Liu Yifei like listening to him talk so much?

"You just know how to coax me." Liu Yifei kicked Li Qiutang, "Hey, let me tell you something."

"what?"

"Zhang Zhao wants me to fly to France in a few days."

"Is something wrong?"

"Well, he said that your company is collaborating with Luc Besson, and he has a new movie to be shot next year, and he wants me to meet the director."

"Good thing, let's go."

"And wait a minute." Liu Yifei ran away and came back with a box in her hand, "Dangdang, does it look good?"

Inside the box was an exquisite gold necklace.

"It's hard for you to give me a gift. I feel so embarrassed." Li Qiutang said as he reached out to take it.

Liu Yifei slapped his hand away: "You are so conceited, this is a women's necklace, for my mother."

"Don't you mother dislike gold?" Both mother and daughter like gems and diamonds.

"This is the product I endorse. It's very memorable. I'm sure she'll like it. How is it? Does it look good?"

"It looks good, she will definitely like it. When did you become the spokesperson for gold?"

"It's a press conference for the contract signed last month, China Gold."

"Is it of high quality?" Li Qiutang didn't know much about fashion endorsements.

"It's OK." Domestic female stars don't have the awareness of competing for high-end luxury goods nowadays, and it's good to have endorsements, "After all, it's a Chinese brand."

“Will it be cheaper to buy things through a spokesperson?”

"I didn't dare to ask." Liu Yifei smiled, "But this necklace was given to me by the brand."

After showing off the necklace, Liu Yifei said, "Come on, go shopping with me."

"Honey, I have something else to do on the set, I need to..."

"You dare!" He put his bag on one hand and held Li Qiutang's arm with the other, "Let's go."
